Plans are already underway for books and films documenting the life of the killer and his seven days on the run.

A sick spoof cover of best-selling computer game Grand Theft Auto has appeared online.

Called Grand Theft Auto Rothbury, it has been seen on gaming sites.

One author, Vanessa Howard, has claimed her book about Moat will be on sale in seven weeks.

And a number film producers are also lining up bids to turn the last moments of Moat’s life into a movie, it has been reported

Internet auction site eBay was forced to remove souvenir T-shirts after receiving complaints.

One orange shirt, similar to the one the killer was wearing when he was caught on CCTV hours before the shooting, showed a picture of Moat with the name “Moaty” underneath.

Another had a picture of Paul Gascoigne with the words, “Moaty it’s me, Gazza”.

Blake Publishing intends to publish the first book about the gunman entitled Raoul Moat, His Short Life, His Bloody Death.

Sales director, Ray Mudie, said: “If we didn’t do this book someone else would publish it. The market is fascinated by what drives these people.”

However, the bids to make money out of Moat’s rampage have sickened the families of his victims.

Samantha Stobbart’s grandmother Ann Hornsby, 69, said: “I can’t believe someone wants to make money out of people who have been killed, it’s blood money.”

Four more are arrested in inquiry

A TOTAL of 20 people have been arrested by police investigating the Raoul Moat case.

Last night detectives applied for a further 12 hours to question a man arrested on Monday on suspicion of firearms offences.

But the 23-year-old from Newcastle has now been released on police bail.

A further four people were arrested yesterday. One man and one woman were arrested in Blyth and one man and one woman in Newcastle.

All four were questioned on suspicion of assisting an offender before being released on bail.

Others arrested in connection with the case include Karl Ness and Qhuram Awan, who have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder. The pair were stopped on a country road in Rothbury while Moat was still on the run.

They appeared at Newcastle Magistrates’ Court on July 8 also charged with possessing a firearm with intent.

Ness, 26, from Dudley in North Tyneside, and Awan, 23, from Blyth, Northumberland, were remanded in custody to appear before Newcastle Crown Court later this month.

The other 13 people, arrested at homes across Newcastle, Blyth and North Tyneside, were all questioned on suspicion of assisting an offender before being released on bail.
